@@ -187,8 +187,8 @@ On top of preview1 a WASI program gets:
 
 - **Threads**: `wasi.thread-spawn` (wasm32-wasip1-threads) and WASIX `thread_spawn_v2` start a worker per thread on the process's shared memory, sized from the module's own import (a 2 GiB maximum when the engine cannot reserve more). The threads share one descriptor table; `exit` or a trap in any thread ends the process. At most 64 threads per process; `SLICC_WASM_THREADS` sets another cap, up to 256.
 - **WASIX** (a module importing `wasix_32v1`): fork and setjmp/longjmp through Asyncify (the module is built with `wasm-opt --asyncify`), exec, `posix_spawn`, `waitpid` (with `WNOHANG`, and `WUNTRACED` for a child that stops; WASIX has no `WCONTINUED`), pipes, `dup2`, signal handlers and interval timers, terminal modes, and dynamic linking: a position-independent main module loads side modules with `dlopen` from `LD_LIBRARY_PATH`, its runtime path, `/lib`, `/usr/lib` and `/usr/local/lib`. Each thread has its own copy of the function table, so the kernel hands out its slots (a side module's range, a `dlsym`'d function, a closure): threads loading or looking up at the same time never get the same slot. As in glibc, one `dlopen` at a time runs in a process, constructors included: a `dlopen` from a library's constructor goes ahead in its own thread, and another thread's `dlopen` waits, then finds the library loaded and gets the same handle. A thread waiting there still ends or stops with its process, but a signal handler it has runs once that `dlopen` returns. The lock is let go when a `dlopen` fails (an exception, a trap or `pthread_exit` out of a constructor included) and when its thread ends; a forked child starts with it free. In such a program, `dlopen(NULL)`, and `dlopen` of the program's own file (also by a path that resolves to it through symlinks), give a handle for the program that is already running (no second copy is loaded); a program that isn't position-independent gets an error from `dlopen(NULL)`, as from any `dlopen`; `dlsym` on it searches the program, then the loaded libraries, and `dlclose` of it does nothing. A function already in the table (the program's own, or a library's) keeps its slot, so `dlsym(handle, "strlen") == strlen`.
-- **Foreign calls** (libffi's WASIX backend, so Python's `ctypes`): `call_dynamic` calls a function through the program's indirect function table (a static module's exported `__indirect_function_table`, or the dynamic linker's), its arguments and results packed in memory one after another (`i32`/`f32` 4 bytes, `i64`/`f64` 8). With `strict` set, the buffers must fit the function exactly (else `EINVAL`); without it, missing arguments are zero and results that do not fit are left out. A trap or exception of the callee goes through to the caller. JS cannot ask a function for its type, so the kernel reads the types from the module files (the program's and each side module's, once, when a program first calls through `call_dynamic`): a table slot that is empty, past the end, holds a function of no module the kernel knows of, or takes or returns a `v128`, gives `EINVAL`. For closures (callbacks such as `CFUNCTYPE`), a dynamically linked program gets table slots from `closure_allocate`, and `closure_free` gives them back for reuse and empties the slot in every thread; a static program gets `ENOTSUP`. `closure_prepare` puts a trampoline with the requested signature (any of `i32`, `i64`, `f32`, `f64`, `v128`) into such a slot, in every thread: each call stores its arguments below the stack pointer and calls the backing function as `backing(values, results, user_data)`, then returns what it wrote to `results`. The trampolines are small wasm modules made and compiled at run time, once per signature in each thread (an instance per closure), so a page whose Content Security Policy forbids compiling WebAssembly (no `'wasm-unsafe-eval'`) cannot run them; it cannot run the program either. A `fork` or a `longjmp` (both through Asyncify) inside a function reached through `call_dynamic` cannot unwind through it.
-- **Job control:** `^Z`, `SIGTSTP`, `SIGTTIN` and `SIGTTOU` stop a WASIX program at once, unless it has a handler for them. A stopped program that is busy computing is stopped for job control (`jobs` shows it, `fg`, `bg` and `SIGCONT` work), but its worker keeps a core busy until its next system call, since a worker's running code cannot be frozen from outside. Agents should `kill` such a job rather than leave it stopped. For the same reason, a signal with a handler or a terminating default (`^C`, `SIGTERM`) reaches a program that is busy computing only at its next system call, so a CPU-bound loop may not end on `^C`; `kill -9` always ends it. A thread blocked in the kernel or waiting on a lock (`pthread_cond_wait`, a futex) is woken by a signal for it (a futex wait checks for signals every 50 ms, so each waiting thread wakes briefly that often), and `pthread_kill` runs the handler on the thread it names. A signal that ends a sleep or a `poll`/`select` with a timeout makes the call fail with `EINTR` in a program whose libc says it is wasix-sysroot 2025.9.30-22 or later (its `slicc.libc` custom section). Older libcs turn that answer into `ENOTSUP` from `nanosleep` (up to -18), so for a program without the section the wait ends as if it had timed out, unless it imports `fd_fdflags_set` (then `EINTR`, as before).

With `strict` set, the buffers must fit the function exactly (else `EINVAL`, before the function is called); without it, missing arguments are zero (one cut short keeps the bytes given, with zeros above them) and results that do not fit are left out.

A sleep, or a clock in `poll_oneoff`, never ends before the time asked (it can end later, never earlier). A signal that ends a sleep or a `poll`/`select` with a timeout makes the call fail with `EINTR` in a program whose libc says it is wasix-sysroot 2025.9.30-22 or later (its `slicc.libc` custom section).

 - **Pipes** have no file type for WASI and WASIX programs' `fstat` (`st_mode` type 0), because WASI has no FIFO file type. A socket type, as kernels 1.47.3 to 1.48.1 gave them, made Ruby treat a `popen` pipe as a socket (`close_write` then never ends the child's input). The kernel's `slicc_fs.fd_mode` answers `S_IFIFO | 0600` (Linux numbering) for a pipe, and wasix-sysroot 2025.9.30-21 and later take the type from it, so programs built on it see a FIFO (`S_ISFIFO`); older libcs keep only the permission bits. Until then Python's asyncio refuses a pipe for a subprocess (`Pipe transport is only for pipes, sockets and character devices`). They are read and written as pipes; socket calls on them fail with `ENOTSOCK`, and `isatty()` is false. Emscripten programs, bash included, see a FIFO. The same holds for any kernel descriptor that is neither seekable nor a terminal or device, such as captured output.
 - **Sockets**: the WASIX socket calls (`sock_open`, `sock_pair` for an `AF_UNIX` stream pair, `bind`, `listen`, `connect`, `accept`, options, local and peer names) are the kernel's loopback sockets, and preview1's `sock_recv` / `sock_send` / `sock_shutdown` work on them and on inherited ones. Writing to a socket whose peer is gone fails with `EPIPE`, through `fd_write` as through `sock_send`, as if `MSG_NOSIGNAL` were set, since a WASI program cannot ignore `SIGPIPE`; a pipe or terminal whose reader is gone still ends the program with status 141. HTTP and HTTPS leave through the realm proxy that `https_proxy` names, as for any other program; `resolve` answers `/etc/hosts` names and literal addresses, and the [uplink](#uplink)'s names.
 - **Diagnostics**: a trap ends the program with 134 and its message on stderr; with `SLICC_WASM_BACKTRACE=1` the wasm frames follow, named from the module's name section, or from a sidecar for a module shipped without one (`<module>.names` beside it, or the same path in a `<package>-names` package). `SLICC_WASI_STATS=1` makes a program print its calls, counted and timed, as it ends.
